Killing your Holiday Party Look

By Malene Birger Blazer (mid December) / Silk Tank / BLK DNM Leather Pant / Diesel Black Gold Sandals / Boera Earrings & Ring

In true AVV fashion, I'm not dishing out holiday outfits that include anything remotely close to sequins, rhinestones, or bauble necklaces. If your heading to the party with the intent of bringing some of the unexpected then I'm your girl. Edge it up a bit! Skinny pants and metal details never hurt anyone. Bringing the A-game cool & chic while still being clean & classic. Who knew the match could be so groundbreaking? A textured blazer by Malene Birger (divine) over an easy silk blouse creates a perfect base. BLK DNM leather skinnies (chic essential) and these amazing studded tassel sandals by Diesel Black Gold... I mean come on now. Finishing the look off with my failproof topknot, matte red lip, and fresh jewelry designs by Boera, you have a "festive" look that will make your best friend scream and your ex cry. Happy Holidays ;)

After collaborating with the lovely ladies of Diesel Black Gold for my beachy denim shoot, I was thrilled to be able to experience the new collection in person at their Spring/Summer 2016 presentation. Located in an amazingly raw and deconstructed building in the heart of the Financial District, it set the perfect backdrop for a runway full of leather, patchwork, and badass vibes. The collection was said to be inspired by a woman wearing a man’s shirt as a dress… sign me up! Tomboy vibes with an edge of sex appeal. Deep side parts, slicked hair, smokey eyes, and strong walks, the models were the cherry on top of that rocker chic sundae. I included some shots of my look before the show, inside the venue, and a link below to a great video compilation of the catwalk. Enjoy!

'Got the Blues for You

Vince Tee / Diesel Black Gold Denim (similar) / Vintage Rings

When I had the opportunity to collab with Diesel Black Gold, it was the perfect match. Their downtown cool feel is one of my favorite vibes and a great contrast to this little beach on the edge of Williamsburg. Sand between your toes, wind in your hair, and one of the chicest and sexiest looks, baggy jeans and a black tee. There’s something incredibly raw and organic—no muss, no fuss. I love how these boyfriend jeans have such an ease and comfort about them. I wore them here barefoot on the beach and then later that night gave them a quick tuck, switched into a slinky tank and chunky mules for an evening oout. Check out the links above and stay tuned for my coverage of their runway show during NYFW!
